It can manifest very beautifully as forgiveness.” –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Tim is joined by Jill and Sarah to recap some of the latest negotiated rulemaking (neg reg) developments and NASFAA public comments. Jill kicks things off with details from how the Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) Committee worked to define a "professional student" and explained how the Department of Education (ED) approached defining the term, outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Sarah then highlights some of NASFAA's recent comments on ED's proposed revisions to the FSA Feedback System, and their changes to the Application for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs (E-App).
Content warning: This whole episode is about sex. It's probably not the episode to listen to around your kids. Secular Pro-Life's Monica Snyder returns to the Equipped for Life Podcast for another series of episodes, beginning with the topic, "It's About Babies, Not Your Sex Life." Stemming from real-life conversations, Monica and Josh identify many of the various factors that contribute to pro-choice perceptions or labeling of pro-life people as being "anti-sex" and then respond accordingly to each factor. The Dynamic Duo also provides some fun commentary on the symbiotic relationship between Secular Pro-Life and Equal Rights Institute, and how the pro-life movement as a whole can benefit from similar relationships. Finally, towards the end, Josh and Monica talk about how snark might be a good last-resort effort in a dialogue situation.

Service design, so what...That's a question still many people around us (rightfully) ask.And let's be honest, they'll probably keep asking it for the foreseeable future.It will take a very long time before our field becomes a household name, which I doubt it ever will.Now, it's easy to get frustrated about this, to roll our eyes every time someone questions the value of our work. But that frustration isn't going to get us any closer to creating the impact we know we can.A much more productive approach is to prepare for these questions, to have our answers ready before they even get asked. This also helps us to better recognize when we end up in situations where, no matter what we say or do, our message about service design just stand a chance of resonating.We do everyone a favor by acknowledging this. Sometimes it's just not the right place or the right time.But where do we learn which stories to tell, when and to whom, and which stories we should avoid?Well, we can take some clues from Mark Howell, our guest this in this episode.Mark is a seasoned professional who's led some of the largest in-house service design teams I've heard of. This achievement becomes even more impressive when you consider he did this in industries not exactly known for their human-centered thinking.In our conversation, we explore how Mark used tools like a "service design quality assessment" to have the right conversations with stakeholders. We talk about how he learned to identify the red flags that signal it's time to find a different project, and we dig into the key role community plays in building a successful service design practice.I'm really excited about this episode because we just don't have many examples of people who have scaled service design teams to these kinds of numbers. And we have even fewer who are willing to share the real learnings from that journey.So, if you have the ambition to grow service design, this is a fantastic conversation to get some best practices and hear about the pitfalls to avoid.What stuck with me from our chat is recognizing that sometimes you need to take a step back instead of just trying to push forward (and burning out in the process).I would love to hear from you: What's a key signal for you? What's the clue that gives away that it's time to stop pushing and find a different battle?Enjoy and keep making a positive impact! ~ Marc--- [ 1.

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie her growing fear and concern about the state of the American social and political fronts as it applies to multitudes of gender-expansive people, their families, and LGBTQ+ allies. When outspoken opponents call for institutionalization of people in the trans or gay communities as mentally ill, it takes fortitude and resilience to continue to show up in the world for oneself and on behalf of others in the shared struggle.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey.

SUMMARY: * Guest: J. Harrington, author of “Swords Up: Mastering the Weapons of Spiritual Warfare for Today's Christian Woman,” an eight-week Bible study. * Tragic loss: During pregnancy with a son, sensed the Holy Spirit warn she wouldn't keep him; hurricane delayed care; confirmed no heartbeat; experienced palpable peace from God in the hospital. * Aftermath: Peace lifted upon discharge; entered a season of anger and grief; continued attending church though unable to worship; community's faith “washed over” her until she could worship again. * Spiritual vision: Sensed a dark presence opposite God's presence in the hospital, awakening her to real spiritual opposition and the need to fight spiritually. * Defining spiritual warfare: Attacks and distractions that keep believers from their God-given purpose; highly personal to each person's struggles. * Armor of God insights: * Emphasis on knowing Scripture to detect Satan's schemes. * Discovery in Ephesians: “Powers” (exousia) includes “power of choice,” highlighting our daily choices as a battlefield. * All armor pieces work together; two threads tie them: surrender and prayer. * Prayer activates and sustains every piece of the armor; Scripture remains the primary weapon. * Identity: Strengthened by Scripture, prayer, confession, and biblical community; refute lies with God's truth (fearfully made, new creation, royal priesthood). * Personal battlefields: Motherhood, marriage balance, overwhelm, social media comparison; surrendering speech, attitudes, and reactions to God; guarding heart from toxic inputs. * Practical application to pain: * Hope in God's promises (e.g., future restoration and no more tears). * Use Scripture and honest prayer to process grief and anger; God can handle “angry prayers.” * Confession as a powerful, often-overlooked practice to break strongholds. * Tools and resources: “Emergency Toolkit” (free download at jpherrington.com): verses + short prayers for anxiety, anger, loneliness, worthlessness, etc. * Key takeaway: Read your Bible daily. Pair Scripture with persistent prayer and honest confession. This combination reshapes identity, fortifies against spiritual attacks, and transforms how you walk through pain. BLOG INTRO: Author, J Harrington didn't come to spiritual warfare through theory—she was drafted by loss. A military spouse and young mom, Jay describes herself (when in her 20s) as being prickly and performance-driven, a Sunday-only faith wrapped around busyness. She married her high school sweetheart, her husband became a marine and they began their family. They were first blessed with a precious daughter and with J's second pregnancy she prayed for a little boy so that the Harrington name would carry on through the generations to come. But J's life was about to be flipped upside down in a cruel and unpredictable way. God prepared her for the unthinkable when He spoke into her spirit before Hurricane Florence: “Get used to the idea that you don't get to keep your son.” As the hurricane came near, knocking out power even before it came on land…(and then if you remember anything about Florence, the east coast experienced power loss for 2 weeks, some longer)…J became concerned realizing she hadn't felt her baby in a few days. When the hospitals were finally up and running accepting appointments, her fears became a reality when they found no heartbeat. Forced to deliver her son as though everything were normal, she says, the delivery room was thick with peace. Nurses felt it, the custodian felt it—“like a warm hug.” As J prepared to leave the hospital God gave her a heads up on the battle that would be waiting for her. When she walked out of the hospital, the warmth lifted. What followed were “angry prayers,” the kind you don't think you're allowed to pray. J reminded us that God's a big boy, and that He can handle our emotions. I agree because He's been doing that for well over 2000+ years. Even though J could not praise the Lord or pray, she still went to church and it became the place where the faith of others washed over her until her own praise could rise again. Through grief came transformation. J admits that The me before my tragedy, couldn't be used the same way. Loss softened what feistiness had hardened. It also opened her eyes to the battle she believes many Christians ignore: not just demonic opposition, but the daily front-lines of choice. While studying Ephesians 6:12: (“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”) t was the word “powers” that stuck out to her. So she dug into the Greek word and the deeper meaning of “powers” and she found it to mean, authority, yes, but also “the power of choice.” In other words: our decisions can be a battlefield and that really resonated with me. Not only from the view point of experiencing that personally but seeing choices as a daily battle that I face and this of course made me see how important it is to understand spiritual warfare. J's discovery became a book…. Swords Up: Mastering the Weapons of Spiritual Warfare for Today's Christian Woman—an eight-week Bible study she says the Holy Spirit downloaded in minutes after she dared Him to use her pen. The study reframes the armor of God as both defense and weapon, threaded by two essentials: surrender and prayer. “Prayer engages every piece of armor,” We're essentially fighting with one hand tied behind our back if we neglect the Word. I know prayer and surrender seem very weak but isn't that just like God to confound the wise with simple things that reveal themselves as having transformational power? J's challenge for us is simple and fierce: dust off your Bible! Let's listen in to see how we can be equipped to battle all that this life can throw at us with the intention of destroying us even if it's only on the inside. Swords UP ladies, the battle is real.

If you've ever felt like podcasting is equal parts joy and chaos, you're in good company. In this episode, I sit down with Darrell Darnell, the founder of Pro Podcast Solutions, to talk about what it actually takes to build a show that lasts. Darrell's been producing podcasts since the early days, and he's seen just about every possible mistake, burnout cycle, and “why am I doing this?” moment creators run into.What I love about Darrell is that he's built his entire career around making podcasting sustainable, not stressful. From fan-driven shows like Fringe and Stranger Things to deeply personal storytelling with Stuff I Learned Yesterday, he's developed systems that keep creators focused, consistent, and connected to their audience without running themselves into the ground.We get into the heart of it all: community, pillars, workflow, and why quality matters more than perfection. Whether you're brand new or you've been at this for years, this conversation is a reminder that podcasting doesn't have to take over your life. It really can be something you enjoy week after week… as long as you approach it with the right mindset and a solid foundation.Key TakeawaysConsistency always wins. Your publishing rhythm trains your audience. Stick to a schedule they can rely on.Community keeps podcasts alive. Darrell built long-lasting shows by treating listeners like real people, not download numbers.Content pillars prevent burnout. Defining 3–4 themes gives you endless episode ideas and simplifies planning.You don't need a “perfect” launch. Disneyland had a disastrous opening day and turned out fine. Same idea here.Let your audience guide your format. Episode length, structure, and segment ideas become obvious when you actually ask (and watch your analytics).Fan-based shows live and die with the source material. If you're podcasting about a TV series or franchise, expect to shift gears when the show ends.Your unique angle matters. Darrell's early success came from having a dedicated science expert on a sci-fi podcast—find the thing that sets you apart.Your purpose powers longevity. When things get tough, the “why” behind your show is what keeps you going.Great production doesn't have to be complicated.

What is gluttony really? If you’ve ever worried about overeating, obsessing about food, or wondered whether enjoying that extra slice of cake is a spiritual failure, this episode is for you. Best-selling author and host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the true heart behind gluttony—exploring why our modern definitions miss the mark and how diet culture and church culture have distorted our understanding. Heather reframes gluttony, drawing on biblical insight, church history, and thought-provoking examples from C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller. She challenges the idea that gluttony is simply about having seconds or what’s on your plate and asks powerful questions about cravings, control, and where we derive our satisfaction. Plus, Heather explores how misplaced fears about food can keep us stuck and why true freedom comes from surrender—not self-denial. Whether food has become a source of stress or you’re striving for perfect control, this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of understanding your desires and finding satisfaction. Ready to rethink gluttony and experience food freedom? Listen now for practical encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and a fresh take you won’t want to miss!

Budget explains 89% of profit variation in award-winning campaigns. ROI? Just 11%.

PF Jung is a YouTube content creator renowned for making the meme of "Enlightened Centrism" great again. He's a self-styled "memetic feudal lord" and "applied sociologist" who has gotten himself in trouble for his attempts to bridge the polarities in society and seeking to bring the far right and far left together. He creates philosophical and political commentary content exploring nuanced positions that resist tribal categorisation, though this approach has led to significant challenges navigating the online political space.You can find Paul's work at:YouTube: youtube.com/@PFJungIn this conversation, I sit down with Paul to explore the crisis facing political nuance in online spaces. We discuss his co-opting of the Enlightened Centrism meme, why holding mixed political views has become increasingly difficult to sustain online, and the exhausting work of maintaining charitable interpretation when everyone wants the fight. Paul shares his experience growing a channel whilst managing contradictions, navigating the Peterson-adjacent space, and what it means to be at the "edge of the inside" of multiple political communities. We also explore why the online political warzone demands tribal allegiance and whether there's still room for complexity in an era of constant gotchas and worst-case interpretations.⏳ Timestamps00:00 James's Intro01:15 What is Enlightened Centrism?

This week we're doing something special: sharing an episode from Good Folks Doing Good Work that dives deep into branding, clarity, and the heart behind the work we do. It's a conversation about understanding who you are, what you're trying to say, and how the choices you make — from design to customer experience — shape the way people connect with your brand. At its core, this episode is a reminder that branding isn't about trends or aesthetics. It's about intention. When you know your values and you communicate them clearly, you build something people can feel. We loved this conversation, and we're excited to pass it along because it captures the kind of thoughtful, purpose-driven creativity we believe in.

Have you ever wondered whether coaching is something you do or something you are? In this episode, we dive into a powerful identity-based question that often emerges when people consider a future in coaching: is coaching fundamentally a skillset, or is it an expression of who we are at our core? We explore how coaching can be seen as an external activity, a profession where we learn models, techniques and structures to support people with their goals. Coaching becomes the thing we do to make a living, with our craft built through continuous learning and development. At the same time, coaching can also be deeply rooted in how we naturally move through the world. When curiosity, deep listening and a desire to understand others feel instinctive, coaching may feel like an extension of our identity rather than a role to step into. We reflect on our own journey, where coaching felt like who we were before it became what we did. We share that, learning the skills came first, which then enabled us to identity as a coach to grow. We've seen so many coaches discover coaching in both directions, and neither path is more valid or successful than the other. We also discuss the reality that coaching evolves over time. As our coaching maturity develops, our presence deepens. The identity a coach holds today will not be the same identity they hold in ten years. Coaching can grow with us as our practice and confidence expand. And crucially, coaches are human beings first. There can be pressure when we over-identify with the coach role. We talk openly about releasing the expectation to embody our coach persona in every moment of life, especially when parenting, navigating stress, or juggling the many facets of running a business. This episode is an invitation to reflect, stretch your thinking, and recognise that both identity and action shape what it means to coach. You don't need a definitive answer. Sometimes the power lies in the exploration itself. Timestamps: 00:00 – Why we're asking: is coaching who you are or what you do? 00:53 – Defining coaching as a skillset and profession 02:24 – Coaching as identity and a way of being 03:46 – How coaches find their path into coaching 05:12 – Innate qualities vs trained skills 07:03 – Coaching styles, diversity and inclusivity 09:16 – Presence and how it shapes our experience of coaching 10:11 – Over-identifying with the coach identity 12:26 – The energy and consciousness behind coaching 15:21 – Who gets to define what coaching is? 17:16 – Evolution of coaching practice and competencies 18:41 – Final reflections and invitation to explore coaching further Key Lessons Learned: Coaching can be both a role we perform and a core part of who we are Skill development and personal identity evolve together in coaching practice No single pathway into coaching is more valid than another Over-identification with being a coach can limit our humanity Coaching continues to change and modernise as the profession matures Presence requires energy, awareness and skill, it is not a constant state The freedom to define your style is one of the greatest strengths of coaching Keywords: coaching identity, coaching skills, what is coaching, coaching profession, coach development, becoming a coach, coaching mindset, deep listening, coaching journey, coaching presence, Links & Resources: igcompany.com/ilmcall igcompany.com
Shipping product features fast feels like winning—until you realize you've deployed seven half-baked features that users tolerate instead of one they actually love. The MVP methodology promised speed and learning, but somewhere along the way it became an excuse for shipping incomplete products and calling it "strategy."Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they tackle one of product development's most polarizing debates: the Minimum Viable Product. Drawing insights from companies like Duolingo and referencing their previous conversation with Nakul Goyal from Carfax, Nick and Chuck explore whether MVPs encourage smart learning or just create a culture of half-finished products. They dissect the difference between "low minimum" and "high minimum" approaches, expose how "finding the green" leads to cherry-picked data, and reveal why product bloat happens when teams try individual valuable features without measuring what they displaced. Most importantly, they argue that the real problem isn't MVPs themselves—it's whether your culture is built around making customers happy or making the wrong people happy. Key Actionable Takeaways: Redefine "minimum" based on customer value, not developer speed - The developer defines what's technically achievable fastest, but minimum should prioritize what creates viable user value, not just "does it work"Use production data to guide iteration, not cherry-pick success metrics - Avoid "finding the green" by searching for any positive indicator; instead, let real user data guide your vision and be willing to kill 6 out of 7 tested featuresMeasure diminished value when adding new features - Product bloat occurs when you validate each new feature individually without assessing how it reduces the value of existing features it displaces or pushes down the pageNick & Chuck's previous conversation with Nakul Goyal from Carfax: https://youtu.be/-Torg078AtE Want more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

Two new mishnayot! 1 - What is the proper place of the fistful of grain of the grain-offering? Defining "kimtzah" -- scooping up the meal. That kimtzah was tantamount to the act of slaughtering of an animal sacrifice, in terms of the details surrounding it (of course, it's not animal), like where in the courtyard the procedure could be done. 2 - The bird offering - and other procedures that were done above the red line and below the red line, respectively. Plus, directing traffic on the ramp of the altar, and traversing the top of the altar too.
We all intuitively know that hypocrisy is a bad thing. But what if it isn't a flaw, but a feature? But maybe the real problem isn't hypocrisy, it's how we think about it.Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm talking to Dr Michael Hallsworth, a leading behavioural scientist and the author of The Hypocrisy Trap. We explore a topic that's instantly recognisable but not often properly understood. Hypocrisy is something we're quick to spot in others, slow to acknowledge in ourselves, and often design around as if it were avoidable or inherently wrong. What Michael reveals — through personal stories, behavioural experiments, and a careful unpacking of what hypocrisy really means — is that our judgments of hypocrisy say more about us than about the people we're criticising. In fact, hypocrisy isn't just common; it's structurally baked into how we navigate competing priorities, conflicting values and real-world trade-offs. And sometimes, paradoxically, a little hypocrisy might even be useful.That makes it incredibly relevant to human risk. In compliance, ethics, and organisational culture, we tend to assume people should act consistently with what they believe, and we often penalise them when they don't. But as Michael explains, this assumption can lead us to build systems that are brittle, punitive or out of touch with how people actually behave. This conversation challenges that frame and offers a more human — and more effective — way of thinking about inconsistency, trust and moral judgment.Guest Biography - Michael HallsworthDr Michael Hallsworth is Chief Behavioural Scientist at the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), where he applies behavioural science to policy, organisational design and real‑world behavioural change. He describes himself as someone “helping people apply behavioural science to real‑world problems” and is the author of The Hypocrisy Trap: How Changing What We Criticise Can Improve Our Lives.At BIT, Michael has led numerous projects spanning government and private sector domains, bridging rigorous academic research with operational behavioural insight. His work is characterised by practical translation of behavioural science and an upfront acknowledgement of human complexity — the grey zones rather than the simple binaries.His new book brings this lens to the topic of hypocrisy, exploring how our judgments of double standards shape behaviour, institutions and trust in counter‑intuitive ways.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] Intro and framing of hypocrisy as a human behavioural risk[00:01:00] Why hypocrisy runs deeper than just “saying one thing and doing another”[00:02:00] Discussion of how organisations treat moral consistency — and the limitations of that approach[00:03:00] Michael's background, BIT and the genesis of his book[00:04:00] Defining hypocrisy: the three‑part structure[00:06:00] The two‑fold meaning: false image vs double standards[00:07:00] Michael's personal story with his daughter + the context of “PartyGate”[00:09:00] Historical roots: Freud's view on civilisation and hypocrisy[00:11:00] Why hypocrisy is a social judgement rather than purely behavioural[00:13:00] When calling out hypocrisy becomes counterproductive in change efforts[00:15:00] Real‑world examples: politics, business, everyday life[00:17:00] The phenomenon of ‘do‑gooder derogation' and why consistent people make us uneasy[00:20:00] Hypocrisy as a strategic accusation in social media and organisational life[00:22:00] The behavioural science of induced hypocrisy and what it tells us about change[00:25:00] Honest vs. relatable hypocrisy: shifting the narrative[00:28:00] Michael outlines three categories for navigating hypocrisy[00:30:00] His reflections on writing the book and the surprises he uncovered[00:34:00] Balancing moral integrity with public perception and stakeholder expectations[00:36:00] Hypocrisy in corporate ESG: the tension between expectation and action[00:39:00] Managing contradictions among stakeholders: the inevitable trade‑offs[00:41:00] Experiment results: private hypocrisy and moral judge[00:44:00] The paradox: why we prefer people who are ‘inconsistent but principled' over ‘consistent and bland'[00:46:00] Authenticity vs inauthentic leadership — and the hypocrisy dimension[00:48:00] Is this a practical manual for “how to do hypocrisy well”?[00:51:00] Final reflections: hypocrisy isn't always about morality—sometimes it's about signalling, trust and change[00:54:00] Michael's hope for what the book can achieve and closing thoughts[00:57:00] Wrap‑up, thanks and behavioural nudge for the listenerLinksMichael's website - https://www.michaelhallsworth.com/The Hypocrisy Trap – https://www.thehypocrisytrap.com/Behavioural Insights Team - https://www.bi.team/Michael's IT profile – https://www.bi.team/people/michael-hallsworth/'Partygate' explainer - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59952395
In this episode, CEO coach Gene Hammett explores what it truly means to Be Intentional as a Leader, encouraging listeners to examine their leadership style and uncover the barriers limiting their growth. Drawing from his recent keynote at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement, he introduces a clear two-part framework for elevating leadership, recognizing current hindrances, and defining the aspirational traits that drive stronger performance. Gene emphasizes the power of proactive, self-aware leadership in building engaged, high-performing teams and shares practical tools and resources to support deeper self-discovery and more effective, intentional leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:04 The Importance of Self-Reflection 5:44 Defining Your Leadership Identity 6:59 Evolving as a Leader 8:17 The Power of Intentionality 9:40 Strategies for Effective Leadership Identify who you're being that limits your leadership. Most leaders fall into the same cycle: open the laptop, answer emails, run spreadsheets, jump into meetings, put out fires… and repeat. I've been there, and maybe you're stuck in that same loop, working hard, but not necessarily leading intentionally. So pause for a moment and ask yourself: What would it take for me to be a better leader? And even more importantly, why do I want to be a better leader? Is your team performing below its potential? Do decisions keep landing back on your plate? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I spoke at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement here in Atlanta. Their leaders were deeply committed to growing, and during that keynote, I shared one core idea: the power of intention in leadership. Here's a portion of that talk: "When you want to be a great leader, it doesn't happen by accident; it requires intention. You need the ability to shift with what's in front of you. Defining the leader you want to become may seem trivial or unnecessary, but it is foundational. Who are you being that gets in the way of being a better leader? And who do you want to become in the next level of yourself? You must be honest with yourself and claim the leader you're becoming." Are you scattered? Distracted? Overwhelmed? Too nice? Too empathetic? Too direct? These traits may not seem harmful, but when they're dialed too high, they create friction. Write them down on a 3×5 or 4×6 card, make it honest, uncomfortable, and real. This clarity helps you move away from what no longer serves your leadership. Define who you want to become. One of my clients captured this beautifully: Be decisive. Be focused. Be confident. Each week during our coaching sessions, we review how these traits showed up. This repetition creates accountability and reinforces their development. This is the work of intentional leadership, continuously evolving and expanding your capacity. Whether you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader, complacency kills performance. Growth requires reinvention. If you're new here, I'm Gene Hammett, CEO, coach, founder, and leadership development expert. We help executives and leadership teams create environments where people perform at their best, take ownership, and feel aligned with the mission. If you want to explore these ideas further without committing to a call, join my free training at training.corelevation.com. In about 90 minutes, we cover core principles, common mistakes, and the five steps to becoming a stronger, more intentional leader. To close today's episode, remember this: Being intentional is a superpower. Reactive leadership limits performance. A simple example comes from sales: smile before you dial. People can sense your energy even without seeing you. That's the intention at work. Imagine showing up 90–95% of the time as the leader you want to be decisive, focused, confident… or whatever traits matter most to you. One of my favorite examples from a client is the phrase: unshakably confident. Picture that being you. It's possible if you choose to lead with intention. If I can support you in any way, keep following our content, keep stepping up, and remember: when you think of growth and leadership, think of Growth Think Tank. Key Takeaways Great leadership never happens by accident it requires intention. Break the reactive work cycle by pausing to reflect on why you want to grow. Part 1: Define who you're being today that limits your leadership. Part 2: Define the leader you want to become (e.g., decisive, focused, confident). Writing your leadership identity on a simple card creates clarity and accountability. Intentionality is a leadership superpower that elevates performance and reduces overwhelm. "Smile before you dial" is a simple example of how intention shapes outcomes. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity.

The people who criticize your drive usually aren't doing enough themselves. In this episode, Baylor explains why your real growth starts when you set—and protect—your standards. Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee dives into the importance of separating goals from standards—and why the people who say you're "doing too much" are often the ones doing too little. Using real-life insight from his own routines and habits, Baylor challenges you to stop chasing goals that fade and start building standards that last. You'll learn how to define your personal baseline, avoid effort failures, and prepare yourself not just for the next level—but for two levels up. Because when you start living by standards instead of goals, excellence stops being something you reach for and starts being who you are. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why critics often project their own insecurities onto your ambition How to define your minimum standard in every area of life The difference between expectations, goals, and standards Why thinking two levels ahead guarantees growth How living by standards leads to consistency and long-term success Featured Quote: "Stop hoping to hit goals—decide to live by standards. Standards create habits, and habits create the life you want."

We blast off into the stratosphere with Hum's 1995 masterpiece You'd Prefer An Astronaut, the Champaign, Illinois band's sonic collision of shoegaze shimmer and bone-crushing sludge metal. While MTV latched onto "Stars," the album's real treasures lie in the deep space between those radio moments—massive, swirling guitar walls courtesy of Matt Talbott and Tim Lash that feel like entire galaxies collapsing in slow motion. This is the record that proved heavy music could be beautiful, and shoegaze could absolutely crush. Strap in for lift-off.

Anthropologist Adam Louis-Klein was in the Amazon on October 9th, when he went online and learned what had happened two days previously. Almost immediately, he also discovered something else: his left-wing colleagues in the academy were ready to ostracize him for his “filthy Zionist” views. Since then, Louis-Klein has turned his analytical eye toward anti-Zionism. In this conversation, he explains the ideology's history and how it continues to perpetuate itself through cycles of libel. He also breaks down the other greatest hits of left-wing academic jargon — settler-colonialism, genocide, occupation, etc. — along the way. And we all try to break ourselves out of the language games that prevent us from having a real conversation about what's happening, and not, in Gaza.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter breaks down the science of dietary fiber, moving beyond the blanket advice to "eat more fiber" to uncover what it actually does in the body and where its benefits are truly supported by evidence. He explains how different types of fiber—soluble, insoluble, viscous, and fermentable—affect digestion, satiety, weight management, and glycemic control, and compares their impact to other, more potent metabolic tools. Peter also examines how certain fibers influence lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk, evaluates the strength of evidence for fiber's role in colorectal cancer prevention, and highlights why some individuals may not tolerate specific fibers well. The discussion concludes with practical guidance on moving past generic fiber targets toward a more strategic and personalized approach that maximizes the true benefits of fiber.
